Jesús Sánchez - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Losing out on playing time Sanchez is not in the Blue Jays' starting lineup against the Royals on Saturday.

Impact Sanchez has been in Toronto's starting lineup just twice over the last seven games despite the Blue Jays facing right-handed pitching in some of those contests. Myles Straw is starting in left field and batting ninth looks to be the preferred option in the outfield over Sanchez for the time being.
